i want to calculate the total duration from this table, how can we do it. like 17:33:00. Could anybody please provide mysql query to calculate this.

Answer 1

Try converting to seconds, summing, then converting back to a time:

SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(SUM(TIME_TO_SEC(Duration)))
FROM Table1

Result:

17:33:00
